Disastrous Fire
Last Saturday night at 12 o'clock there was a fire in Dresden
which burned the Taylor Hotel on the southeast corner of the
public square. Mr. TAYLOR says the first he knew of it was
the falling of the back porch directly behind his sleeping room.
He was able to get half dressed but Mrs. TAYLOR was
compelled to flee in her night clothes. Miss Nell TAYLOR's
piano and a hall tree in the front hall were saved, everything else
was lost. A large crowd gathered and devoted their efforts to
saving the household goods of Mr. BARTON's residence next
to the hotel. Nearly everything on the first floor was saved but
nothing from the basement was saved. His children did not even
save a change of clothes. For a while it looked as if the Dresden
Hotel would be burned but fortunately the wind shifted and saved
a serious conflagration for if the hotel was burned, it would have
been impossible to save the livery stable and a number of small
houses back of the stable.
Mr. BARTON had insurance to the amount of $950., he estimates
his losses at $300. - $400. above insurance. Mr. TAYLOR's
insurance is $1,600. His loss will be about $300., he having
lost all his household goods. Mr. TAYLOR broke a rib
getting the piano out of the building.

Another Fire -
The home of Mr. Si WOOD, three miles northeast of Dresden on
the Palmersville road was burned to the ground Saturday afternoon
and many of the contents lost. Mr. Ford was in Dresden and his
wife at a neighbor's some distance away. Several boys who were
at Dock VINCENT"s store ran to the fire and succeeded in saving
many of the household goods. Mr. FORD had $600. insurance
which will near cover his loss.
